Kubi is supposed to come out on Netflix, right? How long does it take to release there after it hits cinemas?

Any group doing Black Family?

>>44976546
Why do people wait for Avistaz to open? Just buy a seedbox. It's ten bucks, plus you need one anyway to get a good ratio quickly. Unless you're a thirdie or b& I don't see how you could not have ten measly bucks.

Anyone know where to find Kuro-chan Zoo and the one where people are hiding under his bed and stuff? Can't find those episodes of Downtown anywhere.

KOC scores.

yadan 90

zenmonkey 91
rinjin 92
firethunder 91
sarugorilla 94
loveletters 91

nippon no shacho 92
kageyama 93
sarugorilla 94

I wish Nippon no shacho had a better second skit. Probably wouldn't have mattered anyway, Saru needed to completely fall flat in the final to lose with that score difference.

I think the infidelity angle is just a red herring for this show.

>>45004202
This year's kontos were funnier than last year. Wanted Kageyama to win but Sarugori's netas were phenomenal both stages, especially the second one which was better than the first one. Konbis rarely top their 1st stage kontos.

>>45007889
I thought it was pretty similar in terms of quality, felt very front loaded though. Kageyama winning from the worst placement would've been neat, but yeah, Saru were just really solid.

>>45001841
>>45004202
Nippon no Shacho shit the bed. Awful display.

>>45008212
Their first skit was so good, man. I don't know what they were thinking with that slow paced shit after that was totally hackneyed.

>>45008239

I'm glad Sarugorira won. Their first neta reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQbz9-t_gGY

Hamachan tsukkomiing the shit out of the staff for their fuck up at Nippon no Shachou's final stage was too funny. GJ to Hibi Maoko for forcing the judges to talk again to pass the time which made Hamachan laugh like a maniac.

>>45012826
It just didn't land for me, I don't know why. I got the references and the impersonations, I just didn't find it that funny.

>>45013054
There was one point where she lost her composure a bit but you can hardly blame her for it. NnS were probably slightly to blame, it's a very visual skit with more setup required than you would think due to all the moving parts.

Hopefully Downtown does something at least.

>>44989121
I can't take Kamaitachi seriously as senpai geinins. I know they're popular now and on demand but Yamauchi was getting slapped by gravure idols and joshi pro-wrestlers in Goddotan a few years back and Chidori makes fun of him all the time, they're not suitable replacements for Downtown.

Is Gozu even a horror movie? I never watched it and always thought it was something like Dead or Alive.

Miike looks like one of the cast lol. The film had its world premiere 2 weeks ago in Spain. I don't think it's gonna be a "back to form" in terms of Miike madness, and it's obviously couldn't thanks to the very mainstream cast, but I'm still looking forward to it. I hope the lead being a Janiizu doesn't affect the box office turnover negatively (Probably wouldn't because they're still popular despite everything happened)
>>45029253
>Is Gozu even a horror movie?
You're in for a surprise.

Kurosawa's most underappreciated work imho, probably because it never received a BD release. The wistful grunge atmosphere, amplified by Kurosawa's blocking & framing style just sucks you in.

>>44989121
Anyone watched it? Was it good?

>>45037406
I watched the first 10 minutes and got bored of it. Too chaotic, too much basic reaction shit. I guess the staff thought just throwing a bunch of comedians together to "compete" would be interesting because they spent a lot of money on hiring them all for the day or whatever, but it wasn't.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4mwjGUCFFM

>>45037680
The problem is the geinins themselves. This is supposed to be Lincoln's successor but it's impossible to have a successor to a show that had Downtown as the main MCs and Amaegari and Summers as the regulars with Kamaitachi, Mitorizu and New York who are criminally overrated. They're not main cast level. Of course modern regulations play a part in making variety shows boring, but the talents themselves are very average. If they were serious about having a Lincoln successor, they should have hired Bananaman, Chidori, Audry and Sandwichman. The whole show felt like amateurs trying way too hard and failing miserably.

By sharing their lives, the children begin to realize the importance of caring for their classmates."

Even the Pokémon BGM played every scene enhance the enjoyment.

Sono at his most soulful. There's something mysteriously special about indie Sono, working with a lower budget and with a mostly unknown actors. You can feel the same thing watching Bicycle Sighs, BAD FILM and Suicide Club. Red Post itself is a great experience. It wasn't a simple film, it felt like a manifesto, like a love letter to cinema and art or something, as the theme is about filmmaking. It had some callbacks to his earlier works, especially from BAD FILM.

Any thoughts on SABU? Just finished watching Postman Blues, which was fantastic. Gonna check out Dangan Runner next.

>>45071098
SABU is one of my favorite filmmakers. His works are always odd, powerful and emotionally disturbing, especially the early ones starring Tsutsumi Shinichi and Taguchi Tomotorow. They are genius works in an incredible dramedy with monumental absurd situations. This guy has one of the most unique and diverse filmographies. Definitely one of the most underappreciated directors in cinema. I wish you started with his first film 'Dangan Runner' and moved up by release order.

>>45071494
>I wish you started with his first film 'Dangan Runner' and moved up by release order.
That's exactly what I'll do. Some time ago, my acquaintance recommended to check out his early movies when I asked him for something similar to Kenji Uchida's movies. And judging by Postman Blues, I think that I'm going to like SABU. Postman Blues also made me think of another director that I really like, Yoshihiro Nakamura.

We need to split generals. It's very clear, you give pretentious faggots an inch they take a mile.

While I didn't like Dangan Runner as much as Postman Blues, it was still a pretty cool movie. Especially liked the 3rd act and the MC's speech about running and life. Some of the scenes even reminded me of Miike in some ways. It was also interesting to see how some elements from this movie were later improved upon in Postman. After the movie, I wanted to go outside and run a few circles, so that's exactly what I did.

Some consider Dangan Runner the weakest among SABU's Tsutsumi pentalogy, but for his first filmmaking effort, it was phenomenal compared to many other great filmmakers. The main concept of the film is very infectious and absorbing. I've re-watched it many times now but it's always as fun as the first time. You can sense his boldness and confidence in his distinct style in his debut work, and as you've already noticed from watching Postman Blues, he'll develop this style as he creates more works.
> Some of the scenes even reminded me of Miike in some ways.
It shouldn't be a surprise if he was inspired by the likes of Miike Takashi and Kurosawa Kiyoshi, he started as an actor in their v-cinema works before he started his filmmaking career.
>After the movie, I wanted to go outside and run a few circles
Funny you say that, because that's exactly how I always feel whenever I re-watch it.

Since Dangan Runner, I've watched Monday and Unlucky Monkey. I was not expecting to enjoy his movies so much. You never know where SABU will take you. Every movie is like a road with many twists and turns. I'm also enjoying how he constantly shifts genres, and all these tonal changes are sometimes so fucking crazy. I really wasn't expecting Monday and Unlucky Monkey to go in such directions. Especially with Monkey, I didn't think it would be so dark compared to Postman, Dangan and Monday. They are also dark in some scenes and moments, in a way. But Monkey is in a completely different league, imo. Just started watching Drive and I am enjoying it as well. This bouzu character may end up being one of my favorite Terajima's roles.

>>45099054
>Every movie is like a road with many twists and turns
This is the essence of his original style. The large scale intertwining narratives that only get larger in scope as the film goes on, only to very dramatically and suddenly take a magnifying glass to the intimate character moments when you least expect it. As for Unlucky Monkey, first you think it's dark, then funny, then suddenly it becomes a dead serious spiral into a pitch-black abyss of despair. Personally, I loved Monday more. Its comedic surrealism just gripped me hard when I wasn't expecting it. It’s filled with so much absurd deadpan humor that I found myself rewinding scenes either to pick up what I’d missed from laughing or just to relive the madness one more time.

Drive was fucking bonkers. From now on I'll be extra cautious when walking outside to avoid falling into some pit that leads to Hell, Naraka, or wherever. I also thought that this place and time of day might have something to do with 逢魔時. It was amazing. I would say that I liked Monday more than Monkey too. And overall, I think that Drive, Monday, and Postman are the best of these five movies.
>Not saying he completely abandoned his roots, as there's a certain late film of his that is kinda a "back to form", but after a certain period, he started to experiment on all different kinds of genres, but this is what I like about him, and I hope you'll do, too.
Also finished watching Blessing Bell. Did SABU liked bouzu character played by Terajima in Drive so much that he decided to make a whole sort of spin-off movie about him? Now I understand what you meant when you said he was experimenting with different genres. While it bears some resemblance to this pentalogy, it feels very different from these movies. It was such a warm, comfy, and meditative movie that I really wasn't prepared for it. It's fantastic, but I think I'd enjoy it even more if I watched it with a different mindset, because movies like this are exactly my cup of tea. For some reason it also heavily reminded me of Kitano's Dolls.

>>45105704
Drive was like SABU trying to make a cocktail of every theme he presented in his previous works. Each sequence is like a short film by itself, and they all blended perfectly imho. What's special about Drive is how the energy of a scene is spread out across the runtime, making this two hour film feels like half hour.
>Also finished watching Blessing Bell.
This is SABU at his most subtle, but it doesn't lack the SABU style and themes of mixing black, absurd humor while also presenting moments of truth and depth between people sharing their lives for one brief moment. What I love about it is the visuals. I think it's SABU's most visually accomplished film. There are many occasions where the camera is positioned in such a way that it subtly enhances the humor or dramatic impact of a certain scene The camera work does loosen up a little near the end, mimicking the mental state of Terajima. It was so nice to see Terajima in a leading role after the countless supporting characters I’ve seen him play over the years, both in films and tv dramas (smiled so hard when he started chattering at the end). Also, that cameo by Suzuki Seijun was a killer.
You'll now be moving to SABU's works starring the Johnny's faggots. Hard Luck Hero and Hold Up Down are still fun thanks to SABU's trademark writing and directing style so I hope you find them entertaining despite their shitty """acting""". Oh, and by the way, do watch A1012K, it's a fun short film.

>>45106099
I will try watching My Home Hero and report to you later.

>>45112634
What movies, dramas, or filmmakers would you recommend to someone who enjoyed the Tsutsumi pentalogy?

>>45116703
I think Kitano Takeshi's works are kinda similar to SABU's early works, namely the Artistic Suicide trilogy, Dolls, Kikujiro, Getting Any?, and A Scene at the Sea. Still, both of Kitano and SABU have their own distinctive styles, so it's nothing more than a feeling, but I still think you're gonna enjoy them if you enjoyed SABU's early works.
Another filmmaker I think you'll enjoy is Toyoda Toshiaki, specifically his early works before his drugs scandal. While they might lack the humorous nature of Kitano's and SABU's works, there's some similarities to them, either from the core story or the visuals.

>>45116808
Kitano and early Toyoda are also among my favorite filmmakers. Have you seen any movies by Uchida Kenji? Honestly, I think that overall he has the most similar style to early SABU of all japanese filmmakers that I know of.

>>45116900
>Have you seen any movies by Uchida Kenji?
A Stranger of Mine, but I remember nothing about it. It was a movie night with my friends, and it's been 10 years or more since then.
>I think that overall he has the most similar style to early SABU of all japanese filmmakers that I know of.
I'm curious to see how similar he is to SABU, and if his works hit better with me than SABU's. Seems like he hasn't made anything new since 2012, wonder what happened.

>>45116965
>A Stranger of Mine, but I remember nothing about it. It was a movie night with my friends, and it's been 10 years or more since then.
I would recommend you watch his movies in order of release date. As with SABU, you can clearly see how he improves his style with every movie, but I think that in Uchida's case, it shows even better. Personally, for me, every his next movie was better than the previous. I especially liked Key of Life, it's fantastic, and for me, it's as good as Drive, Monday and Postman Blues. There's even a Conan anime movie that came out in 2014 for Conan's anniversary. And it serves as a sort of crossover-sequel/epilogue to Key of Life. Uchida was a scenario writer for it. I would recommend you watch it after Key of Life.
>I'm curious to see how similar he is to SABU, and if his works hit better with me than SABU's. Seems like he hasn't made anything new since 2012, wonder what happened.
I think he got married around that time? And stopped making movies. But sometime earlier in this year or previous, he got divorced, so hopefully he'll start to make movies again.

I watched Uchida's Weekend Blues. The "indie roughness" hits the spot. The screenplay was wonderfully constructed, and the gradual unraveling of the mystery was great. This film proves that the cheapness of the production doesn't matter if the story is good.

I felt it after re-watching A Stranger of Mine. He likes to hide parts of the story, and then reiterate the same scenes later on with added knowledge. It's a nice setup. The story was a good combination of "silly" and "heartwarming".

>>45143607
No

>>45150821
After Key of Life and After School, watching Stranger was a little underwhelming, although it was still a good movie. Stranger also made me think of Tarantino, Coen brothers, and Guy Ritchie. Hard Luck Hero and Hold Up Down were not as good as the Tsutsumi pentalogy or Blessing Bell, but they were still entertaining movies.

Just watched this. Loved it. Can someone explain to me why Haru was writing menu signs for restaurants? The only reason I can think of kind of confuses me timeline wise.

finally watched baby assassins 2. what did we think of it ? I cant help but feel like the first one was better idk why i feel that way i just do. also Chisato is mai waifu stay awy from her

for me its IWGP. Mako-chan is so cool i wish I was him

Anyone have ideas on how to convert DeepL translation into an srt file? The english subs for pic related, which is a Christmas movie by Yoshimitsu Morita, are fucking terrible, so I have an English translated docx of the Chinese subs and it seems like it works far better than the normal English sub.

Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl is such a cool movie with a great title. Party 7 looks even better. I also heard a lot of good things about Taste of Tea but never got around to watching it.

>>45169090
It looks like he was even in The Taste of Tea. By the way, how's his Shin Kamen Rider? I never really was into tokusatsu that much but wanted to give it a try. I remember how surprised I was to learn that Love and Pop was based on Murakami Ryuu's book. It's just so different from the other books I've read by him.

I get you, After School was better. I loved the catchphrase of the film
>甘くみてると騙されちゃいますよ
and it was exactly as it says. As far as Uchida's films, this is the best one yet in terms of the twists and turns. It had all of his troupes from his other works, but even better, especially the climax.
>Hard Luck Hero and Hold Up Down were not as good as the Tsutsumi pentalogy or Blessing Bell, but they were still entertaining movies.
Yeah, those two films are made with the mainstream audience (read: janiwota) in mind. Still, SABU's writing and directing style is still entertaining despite the shitty acting.

>>45175298
>and it was exactly as it says. As far as Uchida's films, this is the best one yet in terms of the twists and turns. It had all of his troupes from his other works, but even better, especially the climax.
You're in for a wild ride with Key of Life. Teruyuki has one of his best roles in this movie imo. Also, that's actually how I first learned about Uchida and his movies. I was looking for some movies with good twists and discovered that he was actually sort of famous back then for having a lot of cool twists in his movies. Then I looked at his filmography, and it looked pretty interesting, so I decided to watch some of his movies. So glad I did it. I hope he'll get back to filmmaking one day. There's also a korean and chinese remake of Key of Life, never seen them though.

Dead Run is the most uneven of SABU's movies that I've seen. Some parts were excellent, while others were not so good. But after these final 30 minutes, I think Dead Run is a pretty good movie, though not as good as Tsutsumi pentalogy or Blessing Bell. Now that some time has passed since I finished watching SABU's first five movies, I'd say Drive is his best movie that I've watched yet.

I think the Yu Yu Hakusho trailer will be released this week
